Lorena Hospital: our patented Springsol\u00ae technique<\/h1><\/div>
<\/div>

In October 2022, the SRT consortium, made up of the companies Stiler, Ripconciv and Tecnoedil, won a major contract in Peru to complete the construction of the Antonio Lorena hospital in the city of Cuzco, a project that had been paralysed for several years due to corruption problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Part of the project involves improving the existing structures, which were suffering from differential settlement causing cracks in the walls, slabs and beams, apparently as a result of a poor soil survey.<\/p>\n

The consortium contacted Soletanche Bachy Peru in early 2023 and, after fierce competition with ground improvement companies, our Peruvian subsidiary won the project in April 2023.<\/p>\n

The $1.7 million contract involves improving the foundations in 7 different areas of the hospital. The surface to be treated will be 4,400 m\u00b2 and 800 Springsol\u00ae columns 40 cm in diameter and up to 8 metres deep will be used.<\/p>\n

Juan Carlos Rivera Baca, Managing Director of Soletanche Bachy Peru, points out that this construction technique is being used on a large scale in Peru for the first time, and that it is a happy coincidence that it is being used in Cuzco, in the “navel of the world”. At the beginning of 2022, he had set up a multidisciplinary working group to develop the soil mixing technique and thus gain market share in soil improvement in the land of the Incas; in December of the same year, they secured an initial USD 140,000 project in Lima.<\/p>\n

“Our team received a great deal of support from the group, in particular from Fabrice Mathieu of Soletanche Bachy International and Juan Manuel Dimas of Rodio Kronsa, without whom it would have taken us a long time to implement this technique in Peru,” explains Juan Carlos Rivera Baca.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that Soletanche Bachy has made 50% progress on the work entrusted to it and expects to complete it by the second half of October this year. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Antonio Lorena Hospital represents an investment of more than 900 million soles (around 235M USD<\/p>\n<\/div>
